In the meantime, take a look at the following tips on how to keep your home cool this summer without breaking the bank.
DECREASE COSTS BY LOWERING BLINDS.
Prevent the solar heat by coming in your home by closing your curtains, blinds, and shades. Be sure to hang your shades as close to the window pane as possible.
FANS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
Using a fan can make you feel 6 to 7 degrees cooler. Just remember to turn off the fan when you're not using it. When you are using your air conditioner, a ceiling fan can help disperse the cool air throughout your home.
DON'T USE YOUR AC WHEN YOU'RE NOT AT HOME.
While your out of the house or asleep, increase the temperature on your thermostat as high as you COMFORTABLY can. This can help lower your costs by quite a bit.
USE SOLAR SCREENS.
Solar screens or mesh-like window screens can intercept the majority of solar energy before it enters your home but are more effective east/west facing windows.
USE TREES FOR SHADE AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
Plant leafy trees around your home's exterior. This will help to stop the sun from shining inside your home.
USE LESS HEAT IN YOUR HOME WHERE POSSIBLE.
When possible refrain from using your oven and stove when trying to lower air conditioning costs because this can heat up your house. Heat up some nachos in your microwave and enjoy!
BASEMENTS ARE COOL.
Hot air rises, camp out in the basement where it's cool. Relax on a couch in front of a TV with a cold drink. That may be JUST what you need.
All of us here at Wall's HVAC Service hope you found this blog enlightening. Don't forget to get your HVAC issues such as odd noises coming from your AC fixed before they become bigger problems. Doing this can save you money too!
